Gambit (The quiz show not the character)

[Jay Mc]

Does anyone remember the quiz show Gambit

It was based on the card game blackjack or pontoon

i think it was shown in early evenings on ITV in the early to mid eighties and the host was Fred Dinnage but I think he was eventually replaced by Tom O'Conner

it was your typical dodgy gameshow from that era with brilliant prizes like hoovers and cutlery with the star prize usually being a holiday that was almost never won

Gambit was also the name of a chocolate bar by Cadburys, just to add some more confusion.

I used to really enjoy Gambit with Fred Dineage. The dim witted female assistant Michelle Lambourne used to get some glares from Fred if she said something really stupid on the show.
